It will be interesting to see if the FDA really did listen, or if it was just a way to get us off their back.

The Diabetes Hands forum looks interesting - I can read it - but it won't let me sign up. One needs a picture of some sort. I tried to bypass that which didn't work. Then I tried to put in an image from my desktop - that didn't work either. Oh well - I spend too much time in front of the computer anyway. :)

I finally got on tudiabetes - my slow Internet connection is a pain! But I'm not sure if it was worth the trouble. There is so much information here!
